Noah gets his hands on the Samsung F700 at CTIA '07 SF

Do you have a guess of which phone carrier would carry the f700

Hey Noah, if it is marketed as a smartphone compared to the voyagers "messaging" does that mean that to have internet it would cost the verizon charge of $45 a month compared to the voyagers access of internet by needing v-cast only for $15 a month??

Scotty - I believe it does light up, but can't remember for sure. I can't imagine that it wouldn't, though. Even though the one I played with was a GSM model, there are a lot of rumors going around that Verizon will be offering it soon as a CDMA handset. On the one hand that doesn't make much sense to me since the LG Voyager is about to launch on VZW, but on the other hand you never know. In some ways it would make sense, particularly since AT&T is going to get the "Prada" phone soon. Also, the F700 would likely be marketing as a "smartphone" where the Voyager is a "messaging phone."

I heard another rumor that this is going to be Helio's follow-up to the Ocean, and while I really like that idea I wouldn't bet on it just yet. I'd love to see it on T-Mob, personally, but can't imagine it launching without 3G data ... T-Mob will roll out 3G, though ... eventually!

Hey Noah - Does the keyboard light up on that phone? If you had to guess which carrier would offer the F700?
